## Overview

The NORTH Honeywell 5500 Series Half Mask Respirator offers professional-grade respiratory protection with a contoured elastomeric seal and latex-free adjustable straps. NIOSH-approved and compatible with all N-Series cartridges, it supports multiple respirator configurations including PAPR and CF-SAR. Designed for durability and comfort, it minimizes dead air space to enhance breathability and worker productivity, making it an economical yet reliable choice for industrial and safety-conscious professionals.

## Description

This North 5500 Series Half Mask Respirator provides a safe, cost-effective solution for breathing safety without compromising on features. It delivers strong protection against particulates, dusts, fumes, mists, organic vapors, acid gases & other contaminants, and is compatible with all of our N-Series cartridge types for use in multiple applications. In addition to functioning as an air purifying respirator (APR), the 5500 model can easily transition to a powered air purifying respirator (PAPR) or a continuous flow supplied air respirator (CF-SAR). It is also compatible with a backpack adaptor for use in welding and painting applications (all attachments sold separately). The elastomeric face seal is contoured to best fit different facial areas, and the threaded cartridge connectors prevent accidental disconnection. The upper strap features minimum give for strong support through extended wear on the job.

Review: Clean Air, Healthy Respiration - Somewhat small for me, but nonetheless fitting snugly on my face, having a P100 filter, and being approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), this Honeywell respirator, though unable to remove poisonous gases, has been otherwise perfectly effective in preventing wood smoke, cigarette smoke, automotive exhaust, foul odors, and other offensive, distracting, hazardous, and unpleasant causes of olfactory sensations from reaching my nose and mouth. I found it especially helpful during the Mullen fire and Colorado fires, which produced smoke that shrouded my home almost continuously for five weeks: having fit the mask snugly, I inhaled no smoke and could not smell it at all,--nor could I smell my neighbors' coffee, bacon, food garbage, tobacco smoke, or automotive exhaust. And I continue to enjoy and value the same benefits of this respirator, even during sleep. The quiet clicking of the exhalation valve is no more noticeable than the ticking of an old clock, or than the rhythm of my normal breathing. The head straps are very unlikely to break as long as you don't lift the respirator by them: it's advisable to grasp the respirator itself before you pick it up. This Honeywell respirator is much more effective than my EROCK Half Facepiece Respirator 6200 by 3M Company, and being made of softer plastic, feels more comfortable on my face. To stay safe, I sanitize the respirator with isopropyl alcohol at least three times a day.
Review: Better than disposable N95 - Works very well, doesn’t fit as well as the 7700 series but is a great substitute for use in a medical setting. Disposable N95s are hot and difficult to wear for an hour straight and wasteful. I prefer this by far for comfort and security. Needs to be adjusted frequently for fit, cleaned of sweat and is hard to talk in but worth it for the ease of breathing.

## Features

- Elastomeric half mask is the economical solution that does not skimp on features With ppper head straps have minimum give to provide secure support, and wide contoured sealing area provides great fit.
- The low “dead air” space limits re-breathing of exhaled air for increase comfort and worker productivity. Latex free straps stretch and move with the worker while providing optimum support.
- Various thickness in sealing area for improved comfort and support - more support around the chin area and more flexibility on the nose bridge.
- The North 5500 Series half mask is the economical option that still provides many of the same features found in premium masks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you determine what size you should get? there is just s,m,l. there are dimensions but no indication what they pertain to.**
A: Depending what you'll be using it for somewhat determines how well you'd want it to fit. Dealing with Asbestos you may want to see a occupational health and safety service for a fit test. They all pretty much fit due to the design of the straps, they cradle the mask as loosely or as snuggly as you'd like but if I were to put them into body weight categories I would say
150lbs or less = small mask
150lbs-200lbs= medium mask
200lbs+= large mask
I base this off of co-workers of different sizes I currently work with in the Asbestos/Hazmat removal industry.

**Q: can it be worn with a mustache and goatee?**
A: It can, but; unless the mask's sealing surface, is touching bare skin, it won't properly seal.   I have a pretty health mustache and it works perfectly.

**Q: Is this a n95**
A: Note that this is just the Respirator Mask only (although some sellers do include selected filter attachments as part of their mask offering).  This mask can be an N95 if the appropriate attachment filter holders & filter pads are also ordered.  The mask has two threaded air intake protrusions on each side of the central air discharge port that are designed to accept a large variety of compatible Honeywell North filter attachments.  For N95 protection (95% filtration efficiency for particulate aerosols free of oil), I recommend ordering a package of two filter holders (Honeywell P/N N750037 - available from Grainger for $9.85 per pair) and a 10-pack of disposable N95 filter pads (Honeywell P/N 7506N95 - available from Grainger for $14.30 per package).  

Alternatively, Amazon carries compatible P100 cartridges (99.97% filtration efficiency for all particulate aerosols) under North P/N 7580P100.  These higher efficiency self-contained filter cartridges are actually more compact than the filter holders mentioned above.  Prices have gone up recently due to increased demand - Amazon currently shows 2-packs (2 are needed) for $20 - $25.  Grainger carries 7580P100 4-packs for $29.75.  Note that if you choose the P100 cartridges, there is no need for the separate filter holders & filter pads mentioned above, and they do provide a significantly higher level of protection.

**Q: Can people hear you when you talk with this on?**
A: Sometimes. Speech is garbled. 50% of times have to take off to speak.
